One technique I use to provide SSL access for a couple of different
virtual hosts is to use different ports. domain A would be
https://A.domain:1443, domain B could be https://B.domain:2443. Not
super clean, but it works pretty well, especially if you're direction
traffic to SSL from a non-ssl page to begin with.
